Hello! I recently set up my first home server, and would like to set up qbittorrent on it. I tried using protonVPN, which is what I use on desktop, but got rate limited because torrenting on the free plan is not allowed. What do you think of hide.me vpn? it has a CLI linux version, I think I can install it inside the docker container and set up a killswitch (that should be built in? at least that's what they say) to torrent safely.

I know paid VPNs are better and also pretty cheap, but I cannot afford one right now. Any tips?

There is a forum where people sell game accounts and there are VPN accounts too, you can buy one for like 3 USD though PayPal for at least 6 months or something, as they are shared accounts probably the one you get would be renewed for another year or maybe more, google "playerup" good luck folk. 🙏🤞 Wish you a happy life..

You are welcome mate, I have like 3 years buying accounts there, and I believe they are indeed more secure than normal accounts too cos the VPN provider also didn't get your personal info, so you are just using a random account who could be used for a bunch of other people too at the same time, ultimate anonymous shit..
